Drama gets them down

Oh wow, so many mentionables to get to today. I'll start with the super cool show that I played here in Uppsala Friday night at Kalmar Nation/Pang Musik! What a great vibe and so many of my new friends here came out to support. It was a really special night. Pang has a crack staff of photographers that documented the evening. Check Stefan Söderlindh's pics and then check Daniel Seestrand's pics! My recommendation: sit down with an Åbro (lager) and view all of the photos. And if you've, say, one of my mp3s play it and it's like you are there. Maybe?

Sad stuff: RIP Pat Morita. One of the channels here played the Karate Kid Trilogy the past three Sunday nights, last night being the final installment. Safe to say I caught nearly all of it. And, RIP George Best. Soccer's first superstar? Soccer's best all-time player? He will be missed.

And from this point on, I'm calling soccer football. No, it's not because I live in Europe now, it's because the sport is played predominantly with your feet and a ball and it just makes total sense. Football. American football: the ball touches the players feet far less than it is being touched by their hands. Handball: now that makes sense. Regardless of what you call it, I've got World Cup Fever!

I have to say that since I relocated I've really tapped back into my love of football (see, I told you). During my younger days and through my first two years of high school I was a football junkie and played indoor and outdoor in order to keep busy the entire year. Since that time I pretty much gave up the sport except for when the World Cup rolled around. Now, I'm in a part of the world where baseball sadly doesn't exist and the optional sports to give a shit about are: football, ice hockey, bandy or handball. The choice was easy. Recently I've been keeping tabs on the English Premier League and Scandinavia's Royal League. And, I've sorta been influenced...Go Hammarby!
